I think we're watching the Decoy Cam

Swear to god, they have one guy whose only job it is is to make sure we don't see anything important going on.

3. They are running a banner at the bottom stating. "Coming soon: BP live feed"

That site is showing a nice clear loop of the oil flow that could be days old. :shrug:

5. It was just pointed out in another thread those aren't live

The one at BPs site is the same as the one in the OP. I guess that's all they want us to be able to see at the moment. :(

2. Don't they have 12 cameras? How do we know if we're watching the "important" view? nt

11. yep, just noticed that...

I killed it and went back to the link now it's showing something different...

Not the end of the broken riser pipe but the split..and he reddish color is there so I think this one might be live...
It keeps changing views...

I've been focusing on the ROV dude monitoring the BOP

17. Compared to some of the livestream videos last night . . .

. . . when I stayed awake watching robot arms doing something or other
that looked interesting, there doesn't seem to be much happening at present.

And . . . I agree with you re: negligence.

16. When I click on to the link you posted . . .

. . . there's a blank box with a security message at the top
as follows:

( ? ) This website wants to run the following add-on:
'Windows Media Player' from 'Microsoft Corporation'. If you
trust this website and the add-on and want to allow it to run,
click here...

(**sigh**) At this point, I do not trust anything to do with
BP---including its website. Thanks for your reply, however.
It's good to know that the link I posted provides the same view
of what's happening.
